Quentin Tarantino practically stole from this director

[@tehpeasant]

The Great Silence is one of my favorite movies with probably my number one favorite soundtrack. Extremely underrated.

[@vhs8669]

The soundtrack on vinyl is one of my favorites in my collection.

[@CodPast]

Soundtrack was mid in my opinion. But the movie was great. Klaus Kinski is a legend

[@marc_anton8067]

The Great Silence is one of the best Westerns (if not the best) ever made. Jean-Louis Trintignant is very nice here, Vonetta Mcgee is awesome, Frank Wolff, Luigi Pistilli, Mario Brega, the supporting cast is also amazing in this one. But Klaus Kinski is really the BAD ASS here. The Music by Ennio Morricone is excellent. This Western is Sergio Corbucci's masterpiece. You can find a few more westerns with sad endings, but not so violent, bleak and unpredictable like this one. This one is unique. This movie is the so called Western in the snow and yes, It certainly was the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino with his The Hateful Eight film.

[@TheNiall666]

The opening few missions of Red Dead Redemption 2 probably take some inspiration from The Great Silence. The character Micah reminds me of Loco a bit too.

[@Berzelmayr]

In the camp, there should have been a confrontation between Micah and Pearson like the one between Kinski and Saxer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6aYgX2VfbqBrtE

[@CountessMaryaZaleska]

Kinski is only called _'Loco'_ in the English dub - The dubbers were just being lazy: it's an overly used and uninspired Spanish term that just means 'crazy'. In the Italian dub he's called _'Tigrero'_ meaning: _'Little Tiger'_ which to me has always been the way cooler name….

[@f-grade]

John Marston's winter jacket was even patterned after Silence's outfit (the black w/ white stitching).

[@neotomoe]

And John lost his mauser and he had the whole outfit exactly alike

Big Corbucci fan here. Well made informative vid! 👍

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

As a huge fan of this film (and Corbucci's other films), I can only say that the tone and setting were similar to Hateful Eight. And yeah a couple of shots are homages. But other than that, they are both very different movies.

[@jimruthlessYT]

I love The Great Silence, it's better than The Hateful Eight.

[@travisgray7010]

I love them both but yes of course but hateful Eight is still awesome

[@jackseditzzz]

Couldn't agree more, i really don't like modern westerns and the hateful eight stole so much from classic westerns i feel, the great silence is such a hidden gem, great sound score too, one of my favorite films.

Hateful eight has many references to his other movies. The bounty hunter of Django, the deadly squad of kill bill, the reservoir dogs and of course to John caprenters the thing. A perfect masterpiece that deserved Morricone's fantastic scores.

[@andreaventura9597]

I watched The Great Silence for the first time a few months ago and I loved it!

[@Silence-v6z]

Yeah, cowboys among endless snowbound mountains and the silent hero with Mauser C96 are things that made this movie one of the best I've ever seen.

[@chief5604]

I love that Rockstar games used Silence's outfit for John Marston on chapter 1 and I think they also used Loco's outfit for Micah on chapter 1 and epilogue 2

Great review. The Great Silence is easily my favorite western. Wish they would release it on bluray.

[@shangfukickassallday]

[@MexlycanFilmico]

The Great Silence is 100 times better than The Hateful 8, and The Great Silence ending is not your typical boring Disney happy ending. The Great Silence = Continuous Action The Hateful eight = Boring

[@IamtheDesperado]

Both are great. The Great Silence is flawless

He's such a fanboy filmmaker. Everything after Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown have just been paying omage to other films in the genre. Having said that, his movies are the most fun you'll ever have on friday night at a theatre.

[@Photosounder]

After Jackie Brown? Jackie Brown is his version of Coffee and Foxy Brown, both also starring Pam Grier.

[@gabrielegagliardi3956]

Also reservoir dogs, pulp fiction and Jb are full of quotes from other movies. The ear scene in dogs is incredibly similar to the one in Corbucci's Django (the original). Btw tarantino is a master

You call it "homage" everybody else who doesn't have a tongue up Tarantino's posterior calls it plagiarism. Akiro Kurosawa would most certainly agree. Tarantino is overrated.

[@Professicchio]

Exactly what I thought while watching Hateful Eight, Tarantino's movie is nothing more than the Hollywood, watered down version of The Great Silence, despite all its bloodshed it's still nowhere as visceral and raw as Corbucci's dark masterpiece.

[@elechu91]

It's kinda funny how Tarantino constructs his own movies. It's as if he builds a puzzle with pieces of different westerns and other movies to create his movies. Just look at Django unchained there are elements from The Great Silence, Django, and Mandingo.

[@Brucelyroy]

And let's not forget "Goodbye Uncle Tom" one of the most brutal depictions of the reality of American Slavery on screen. Reportedly, Tarantino had his actors watch it before Django. But my questions is, why water it down?

[@elechu91]

Wally Walterson Because he already gets a lot of criticism for his "violent" movies, and a realistic depiction of that era, like the one in Goodbye Uncle Tom, is probably not going to be so appealing to Tarantino's mainstream audience.

[@angelmadridruiz]

Na, shut up

[@Red_Dead_Director]

The Great Silence is as boring as your comment -- yawn.... Racism is disgusting... People can see what you type online btw.....

[@tyjohnston8573]

Glad someone has pointed out the similarities between The Great Silence and Tarantino's work. While Leone had some effect upon Tarantino, I've always felt Quentin was more influenced by Corbucci (though I don't know if Tarantino himself even realizes this).

[@s4mp_founder]

When I recently saw the trailer for the first time and heard Morricone's score within it, I knew right away it's the film he used as template.

[@platzhalter2581]

Tarantino made a really bad technical choise by filming H8 in Ultra Panavision 70. He should have used TODD-AO instead, with spherical lenses. All Italian westerns used spherical lenses starting with "A Fistful Of Dollars", this made a high depth of field possible and image compositions with sharp foreground and background elements. That is a trademark of Italian westerns. And obviously H8 suffers from a lack of depth of field in a lot of shots as it takes place in small room, that anamorphotic lenses weren't designed to capture.

[@michekentucky2444]

Tarantino is à madman.A sort of crazy.

[@claudiogandini9091]

I would ask To The video Maker if even Fargo (Coen Bros) might be in part inspired by The great silence???

Il Gran Silenzio focuses on justice, where the judiciary acts as a tool for capital by issuing execution orders against alleged debtors without due process.

[@shangfukickassallday]

Everywhere I looks I couldn’t find it in English to watch

[@yeenaaldlooshii2032]

At 2:21 did anyone else think he said I’m sorry but it’s bread and butter

[@simondavies4603]

Loco did say, “I’m sorry, but it’s our bread and butter”. He is a bounty hunter: he apprehends outlaws, dead or alive. Klaus Kinski portrays an incredibly psychotic killer who apologizes repeatedly for what he does but prefers to kill outlaws than to arrest them (he explains the practicalities) and uses the cold weather in which the film is set to preserve the bodies for later retrieval and presentation to the authorities. The Great Silence is an awesome film and there is only one other that gets close to it IMO “Once Upon a Time in the West”.

[@m1k119]

Tarantino has a good taste but does nt come close to Corbucci or Leone s productions . Plus US has no fucking Ennio Morricone or Bruno Nicolai for soundtrack ( although both contributed their music to some American westerns collaboration ) .. unfortunately spaghetti goes deeper in culture of people rather than plain western movie . For that reason you see the John Wayne movies have no match with Italian Spaghetti. Get it ..

You mean: "How Quentin Tarantino stole from Sergio Corbucci films"

[@CountessMaryaZaleska]

Clint Eastwood …..was _'inspired by' or 'payed homage to'_ or…. eh ….. ripped this film off depending on how exactly you wanna phrase it - no less than *four times* in his subsequent American film career: 1. *_'Hang 'em High' 1968_* - Nasty neck scar, Clint pulls down his neckerchief to reveal his neck scar, and also walks into a saloon and puts his cigar out in the villain's whiskey. 2. *_'Joe Kidd' 1972_* - Villain _Lamarr Simms_ (played by Don Stroud) uses a *_Mauser C96 Broomhandle_* semi-automatic pistol - exactly like the one used by Silenzio and John Saxon's character _Luis Chama_ also wears a hat that's very similar to Klaus Kinski's. 3. *_'High Plain's Drifter' 1973_* - This film opens with Clint riding mysteriously and enigmatically on horseback down through the snow covered mountain tops - to an eerie spaghetti western type soundtrack. 4. *_'The Eiger Sanction" 1975_* - In this thriller, Eastwood cast *_Vonetta McGee_* as _Jemima Brown_ - his love interest.

[@MRJTD99]

Hang 'em High and Joe Kidd do go a little far, sure, but the other two are just ridiculous. God forbid someone sets their western in a snowy climate or a specific actor plays in another movie lol.

[@CountessMaryaZaleska]

Eastwood was obsessed with _'il Grande Silenzio'_ during this period. The latter two merely show the continuing 'through line' of that obsession. The opening of _High Plains Drifter_ illustrates how _Silenzio_ was still either unconsciously or consciously influencing his directorial choices and 'ideas'. He just couldn't get the film out of his system. Vonetta McGee was never a household name, and was quite an obscure actress.The sole reason why Eastwood cast her in _The Eiger Sanction_ was because he knew of her from _Silenzio_ and liked her performance in it. So it was therefore his _tip of the hat_ to her to cast her in that.
